Because the noun books is plural, the apostrophe that shows it's a possessive goes after the s: books'.

Example: Most of the books' covers were undamaged.

If a noun is singular, the apostrophe usually goes before the s: book's. So, if the noun is plural: The books' important lessons made a positive impression on everyone who read them. (More than one book.) But if it's singular: The book's important lessons made a positive impression on everyone who read it. (Just one book.)
